http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/oct/16aneek.htmThought I'd share this link with all Himesh the Menace lovers. And this is for Shekhar ki Deewani: the comparison with Ravan could be valid if you consider that Himesh can talk enough nonsense for 10 people.

BTW, wasn't Ravana a much revered and admired scholar and King. The one place he went wrong in his life was when he abducted Sita(Rama's Wife) under severe provocation(primarily when Shurpnakha's(Ravana's sister) nose was chopped off by Rama).

There is no Lord Rama in this Kalyuga and no Sita whom Himesh has abducted as yet. In the abscence of both events Himesh being compared to Ravana only makes him look like a much revered and admired person ??!!!

All drifters in California, I hope u r all safe.Heard about wildfires there. It was only just another piece of news until I got a call that my husband's cousin has had to evacuate her house since the wildfires are near their houses.That was when we realised the magnitude.Its only at such times I realise how selfish most of us humans are. When something bad happens, we shake our heads and sympathise, but when it happens to someone we know, then it hits and hurts real hard.Heres praying that all drifters and others there r safe!

Now that I think about it, Himesh is the modern day Ravan...and no, not the king! Sita represented everything that is good and pure, and I feel like that's how we see music in this world. I'm not talking about the new age music, I'm talking about the classics, and Himesh, aka Ravan, has 'kidnapped' it, and made terrible, ABSOLUTELY TErrible, remixes on it. We must do everything in our power to get that back and to destroy him and his evil doings!! hehe...Just a thought!! :D

Well said Girly, so our modern day sita here is music....good one...yes, and we all are rams here ...we shud stop buyin dis guy's music to stop his nose from growin....btw, his songs r liked mostly by the lower class of de society...so we have a huge task here...

Just got into the workplace..took the appropriate detours..got a tall latte and now am settled down in a corner cubicle in the office. Life is good..contented, philosophical musings..So pls. bear up :)

Actually, when I read your post, I thought there is some merit in the thought. Coming from a indian classical background, me and most of my friends abhor the remixes and what have you. Music is a highly subjective experience though..and one man's prasadam is another man's poison..I mean some folks think that filmy songs are a corruption!!All this hip-hop, techno, rave etc. are noisome..but like SKD said people do like this stuff..

Actually, I think Himesh is more like Kalkhi avatara than a Ravana!! He uses the sword(the microphone) and his violent high pitched swara's(some would say asura's) to destroy the adharma in this world!! Maybe we have to understand that all this is required before we annihilate Kalyuga in all its decadence to create Rama Rajya in all its glory...

Hmmmm...This coffee is good stuff...maybe I should give up decaf all together...oO0

OMG Musing...u just converted Himesh from Ravan to and avatar of Lord Vishnu...:-s...i have absolutely no words to say.......and btw, kalki avatar had/has/will have a horse too...wunder if that's our dear Oink...

Musing, nice response! But you can't go from comparing Himesh to Ravan to comparing him to Vishnu...it's just not logical. And you speak of how people like his music, these are the same people who have a very poor sense of judgement. The same people who go watch movies such as Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, and give awards for such genuine crap in the world! THere are plenty of those people out there, but you can't let their opinions, likings, and dislikings change your own originality. Wake up and smell the Decaf! :D

he he ,, just like somebody has gone hard into the ravana philosophy with music as the sita maiyya .. then in that way himesh does the remixes , and he kills it .. whoop

what did u have say to people who has sung and written and created aey ganpat , which category they fall into .. the bharatas ,,

and next in line dard-e-disco , now whatever that means sure sounds like somebody is raping supankha... hey where is ravan we need you badly to save supankha ..

All the all thinking people are classifying all the low class people here ... well seems like a highly upper class is breeding here , who wants to prove that by criticizing himesh or kabhi alvida na kehna ...

I read most of the comments from my caffeine induced haze..but was too blaise to type a response.

SKD, Himesh prefers a white 4WD and that's the white steed of Kalkhi in this kalyuga..its zimple.

Girlie, its epiphany. You cannot question god!! God told me(albeit under the influence) that Himesh is Kalkhi avatara...His nasal high pitched swara's amplified through his sword serve to cut down the adharma in this world..Only the pure shall like his music and be transported to bliss...

Your not liking Himesh's music tells me that maybe I should not be talking to you anymore...thou shalt talk only to the pure said God..How will I know who is pure my lord ? I asked.

They shalt be the fans of Himesh said the Lord...they shalt sway in bliss to his sweet tunes...

Hail Himesh the lord of the meek (or is that mike :?)..they shalt inherit the earth, after the infidels are driven away by the shrill shrieks of His Himeshness...

Anonymous, I agree with you...snobs and megalomaniac's galore here...but then they have not seen the vision you and I have.

Wow, someone is really getting paid for Himesh brand building.....glad im in the upper class...even if i were de last person on earth who abhorrs His Himeshness....pfftt....Btw, all my comments were based on 'facts'....and puhhleeezzzz read my statement proeprly..."btw, his songs r liked MOSTLY by the lower class of de society".. Mostly meanin more dan 50%..So all thou Himesh fans in the drift..u r a minority...

well SKD who the effin told you that the people who read or write blogs are from upper class, just get your brain right and then talk about facts .. there seems to be like so many things are missing there .. and on what facts you are talking ,, on what basis you decide someone as lower class ,socially , economically ,mentally .. how .. just answer .. no body loves so as to write himesh ki deewani or deewana , to me you look like a mentally challenged person

Dont tag me with what SKD said...(even though I agree with her), my response was politically correct. I didnt say anything about class and average income per household. I just said that people who like his music are the same people who are responsible for making crappy movies a hit as well, without really knowing what talent and creativity really is! I'm with you Aspi, I'm lower class too, otherwise I wouldnt be working and would be at Bloomingdales right now buying a new pair of shoes! But I know good quality from poor quality! I know what real music should sound like, and it's definitely NOT what Himesh makes!

Musing, maybe coffee is too much for you to handle, even if it is decaf! Try some green tea instead!

Anon..ddude...dont get senti..i feel ur Himesh in disguise....facts now.. meaning...record sales...market...Himesh's music is MOSTLY liked by the lower strata of the society...the same ppl who like b grade movies and the same ppl who cannot afford [not in terms of money, but pure sense] to think beyond pleasure to their ears...this is what the music industry has to say....every genre of music has a particular kind of fan followin...yea, absolutely true,lower strata of the society r humans..not their fault being poor,etc etc...I HAVE NOT SED ANYTHING AGAINST THE POOR CLASS.....My entire statemnt per se simply states the fact that there are more poor than rich ppl in India...and bcuz of dis majority, Himesh is popular...THEREFORE we have a huge task in our hand to save 'Sita'....nothing derogatory has been mentioned about anyone's social standing...class..etc..its a simple true statemnt..thats all.And if u feeling hurt..please stop getin so senti about Himesh...and open ur eyes[and brain]...and start reading the actual meaning behind ALL the words...rather than one word...As far as Himesh fans in the drift r concernd....they were classified by themselves, and not by me...Poor poor Anon....cannot do widout targeting people rather than the topic...Its absolutely my discretion and sole authority to use watever ID i wanna...I forgive u dude:)

WTF are you anonymous? Hey Baby is a B/C grade movie for sure in terms of quality. It is my opinion and my prerogative and my effin rating, deal with it. Now you can go hurling insults at me, I don't care.

also can you please translate this

"About B-grade movies , do you know what they are .. seeing the effin comments from you ,, you seem to the one following them.. "

Anon, I think SkD has a point. Try to stay away from attacking people personally and that will usually work.

Otherwise all this talk will put me off sex for a month.

And just for the record, I can't wait to see Himesh without his shirt. It will be magnificant - a sight to behold and one we'll talk about for years afterwards. Bonus points if he does a dance and we get to watch the jiggles.

Oh Aspi...working hard as a mediator once again! It's lovely to see you guys be civil to eachother again! Aspi, my all time favorite is Kishor Kumar. He's totally not from my time, but my dad's a big, BIG fan of him and I've grown up listening to all his songs so, yes, Kishorda is the best! I like all old musician, the ones that appriciated music and what music represented. I've watched old movies and from that i know that good music can make or break a movie!

my granddad hates kishor kumar, i aint kidding. He acts like I act when I see Rani Mukherji. It is so wack.

We were at my aunt's house a few years ago and she put on some shah rukh khan concert dvd and it had him perform to some KK number and my grand father freaked out and got up and was like "turn it off". All us kids got freaked out.

I tried fruit flavored tea as suggested by Megan and look what happened !!

It made me so relaxed, I dozed off in the office and now have to drive back home in darkness (something I have never done before).

Also, I think Megan is a bad girl!! She puts me to sleep and all of you had so much fun here !! I missed it all!!

But the last post of Aspi made my day. Imagine, Himesh bare chested in a movie and that can be a guideline on what an A grade movie should look like...Highest quality stuff...I would also like to see a desi Bond movie picturised on Himesh !!

SKD, Megan it's really simple. Watch the next Himesh movie and you will forget about Ranbir, Shekhar or what have you...and don't fight pls. that's so much in bad taste (you know its something those B grade people do) ;)

Also Aspi pls. do not talk about staying awake in the night. The very thought scares me to sleep!!

but i think ppl (SKD et al.) here are confusing correlation with causation by bringing in this 'rich vs poor' (taste?) angle. i do like some of himesh's compositions and at the same i like rehman's. Lets not get judgmental abt ppl not sharing your tastes. 'tis just a matter of choice. :)

Watever guys, this is no longer funny...evry effin topic the entire toli has to come from sumwhere...wtf?And now shekhar's mom...wah..its becomin a family affair now...FOR U ANON, WHO ALWAYS BAITS ME..NO I DID NOT DO THIS.Gees, Aspi, im tryin my hand at writing.Please check my blog for the article i have written, and I would appreciate honest critical comments and/or tips.

ROFL.. india-forum is another forum where they have HKD's like himesh ki komal or anjali watever ...

at the moment the only difference between the two places is here here we have SKD's and they have HkD's

guys showing amateur love is ok , when it crosses a line , it starts to play on other readers mind , they expects to read something else and they end up reading all about ceratin perons love.. which get them all fired up.. and i know few people who have actually stopped visiting this place. so please be relevent to the post..good for us readers , saves us a lot of time as we dont have to read oodles of hate posts ..

so prepared to be post like a normal human being , may be become anonymous

but it will not affect or should i say distract peoples mind as to what you are saying ,i know i am giving faltu advice ,, but still , hope we will not get such attrocious IM Like sessions here , may be i am speaking on behalf of aspi

1. Kill them with kindness. Even though you may crave violence or some other form of hurt towards your enemy, and it hurts not being able to see that hurt, the most effective way to watch your enemy crumble is to be kind to them. After all, light always conquers dark no matter what. It is hard, and it all rests on your determination and will to achieve the objective, but it is possible.2. Let your enemy dig their own ditch: When someone hates you, or is angry at you for reasons unjustifiable, then let them dig their own ditch. What goes around comes around. They will fall slave to their anger. If you are always angry and them, and there is tension surrounding you and your enemy, then you both are united: You both are slaves to your anger towards each other. Forgiveness frees that anger.3. Don’t allow actions to bother you. Sometimes when you encounter miserable people, they sneer at those who are not miserable. Do not take it personally. If you take it personally, then you are just another miserable person in a miserable world. You do not stand out that way. You cannot stand out that way.4. For rude and ignorant people, sometimes you have to act like an adult. Sure, there are people in their 50’s and older who act ignorant, and intolerable. If you have the will to act more mature and tolerant than them, then you are above them. Don’t be arrogant. Be mature. You will set an example for them, even if they seem to hate you.5. If you do the right thing, some people will hate you. If you do not always sway with the popular crowd, people will hate you. Why? You cannot accommodate everyone. Sometimes, the more I am hated by negative people, the more I know I’m doing the right thing.

Each of the five steps mentioned requires a great deal of will. They do work, but you have to be determined to make them work. I have had situation in which the above has helped. It has worked 100% of the time, every time I was determined to make it work. The same goes for you.

well you are welcome kanan , just gone to your page , and found it quite interesting .. quite nice ... and for others I am not in the rat race to criticize people .. every body has to help himself/herself...

By the way M, Barnali's recently written an article on Vishal-Shekhar, it's actually an interview... I was just wondering...do you know whether it'd be authentic? I mean, is Barnali in touch with the dynamic duo?
